Elton Flatley has stood himself down as Reds captain while he remains injured paving the way for Nathan Sharpe to continue as Captain. Lloyd Johannson meanwhile has been left out of the team to play the Stormers this round, the ONLY change in the lineup being John Roe back at Number 8. How frustrating!

Brendan Cannon became the first player to officially be signed with the Perth Super 14 team. Very nice pick up there for Perth! Congratulations to Brendan Cannon!
